Jurassic Footgolf

Eighteen holes of dinosaur-themed mini golf near Bridport sounds daft until you actually turn up and realise someone's put proper effort into it. Jurassic Footgolf takes the usual windmill-and-castle routine and replaces it with Jurassic Park aesthetics - think volcanic landscapes, prehistoric creatures lurking between the greens, and enough themed course design to keep kids engaged for longer than the standard putt-putt.

It's a family thing, genuinely. Adults will appreciate the course layout and the theatricality of it all; children under twelve will lose their minds over the dinosaur elements. You're looking at roughly ninety minutes to two hours depending on how serious people get about their scores and how many photo stops happen. The difficulty ramps up nicely on the back nine without becoming frustrating.

Location-wise it's well positioned for a Dorset seaside break. Bridport's only minutes away if you need lunch or a proper cup of tea afterwards. Both Seadown Holiday Park and Coppet Hill are close by, so you can slot this in as a rainy-day activity or an afternoon break from beach time without it eating into your travel schedule.

Worth noting: footgolf venues can be weather-dependent, so check conditions before heading over. Bring a light jumper even in summer - Dorset gets breezy. It's the sort of thing that works brilliantly as part of a wider holiday rather than a destination in itself, but if your crew enjoys mini golf, you'll find it a decent cut above the usual seaside fare.
